when I can't schmooze my way on a private get (G550 last time), then I would fly commercial on the cheapest fastest flight I can get. Especially when flying domestically where sitting on a plane for 4-5 hours isn't the worst part of the trip, it's the airports. And paying more and still having to get naked body scan pictures taken of my wife seems like a pointless way to spend extra money.

Most of the US wealth is generated in suburbs.

Calling this out, show me. Also show me an economist that measures economic output by where people happen to live and not where they work.

Yeah, let's instead force people into 15-minute neighborhoods.

And yet the major cities are in a housing crisis because so many people want to live there. Square that circle for me please.

Cheaper housing

That supports my argument.

The jobs are in the cities.

Comment Re:Didn't The FTC Do This Two years ago? (Score 4, Informative) 32

Also to be extra clear the 8th circuit struck it down for procedure, the FTC was supposed to have done a certain type of economic impact analysis for the rule and it could not go into effect before that happened. The court did not actually make a ruling on the rule itself and in fact were sympathetic to what the law was trying to do.

The FTC can re-implement the rule after that analysis is complete and it can go through the process after that but with the current admin they have chosen not to and generally Republicans were opposed to the rule.

If Lina Khan was still at FTC I imagine it would have been done but Sarah Ferguson who voted against the rule initially now runs it. But both parties are the same of course.

Large cities subsidize the large companies by offloading externalities (costs of living) on population.

And in reality this is backwards. Urban cores subsidize suburbs, which in many cases do not collect enough taxes to sustain themselves due to the low density and larger infrastructure costs. The suburbs do not exist without the central city.

Also by your logic the rent in the cities *should be cheaper* and of course this is nonsense because rents in cities are expensive because they are in demand and there is a lack of supply.

 

we need to dis-aggregate cities to make other locations viable.

Oh, just "dis-aggregate" (whatever that means) the foundation of human civilization. Why they may ask? Because you and your gullible friends saw too much outrage propaganda on X.

"Citizens of those countries willingly staffed teh camps, and many fought on Germany's side" Many Americans would have done the same.

Well look here, "Many Americans would have done the same.

A little history for ya, superior being.

Did you know that at the start of the war, many Japanese Citizens were interred in Camps? Yes.

But there is a difference in the camps. the Japanese were not starved, they were well fed. They were not forced into Slave labor, and make no mistake, they were not gassed with the European's favorite gift gas, using Zyklon B. And they were let go eventually .

And here's the difference. We Americans are ashamed of that action. It was wartime, and well, many of us understand that while deplorable, it was a different time. There was a worldwide war happening, one in which the axis powers were killing "undesirables" en masse, and it was not a good thing to be in say Nanking or South Korea, during the Axis actions if you were female.

Meanwhile, your whataboutism is not true nor accurate, but you stood up for the holocaust by saying Americans would have done the same.

We did not, Europeans definitely did, and that is why you act all high and might5y, your deepest impulse didn't go anymore, just submerged a bit below the surface, ready to be enacted again when you get the chance.

You can deserve what you have and still acknowledge and live in a world where social contracts is real also, they're not exclusive to one another. This was more the culture in the "golden age of capitalism" in the post WWII period then in the 1980's this turned into "corporate raider" business culture.

It's ok you can stop now, It's quite clear my greater point went over your head and you just want to focus on this commercial/private point which doesn't change my overall point whatsover but those picked cherries are sweet this time of year.

Man i really rustled the hornets nest with this one. People will take this attitude and then are gonna wonder why so many DSA people are going to be elected and why young people are totally disenfranchised with capitalism. Good luck my Republican friend.
